This shot was another fun exercise in correcting the wrongs of Disney’s lighting team. Once again, the lighting team dug into their warehouse of discount blue lighting to bathe Rapunzel’s Tower in its boring light. I pulled up a reference photo from Tangled and used that to color correct the tower as accurately as I could. I think it turned out really nice and it also helped separate it from the blue sky where it would have otherwise been lost.18
I have posted a few shots from this area already, but this is my first that is your standard sort of framing for the scene. It is a no brainer kind of…

This one was taken on March 12th, just 3 days before the parks closed due to COVID-19… hence the title. I have always been one to shoot low. I often in the…
To be honest this photo is just OK… I’m mostly posting it to talk about (complain?) something odd I experienced shooting this one. I initially had the Nikon 24-70 F4s on my…
